Visitor Hall
Those coming to Washington DC for a glimpse of government in action usually put a visit to Capitol Building on the top of their list. The Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) caters to these visitors by hosting tours, educational programming, souvenirs, and an exhibit experience all underneath the open plaza where folks usually get their portrait photo taken next to the building's signature dome. In the last decade or so, the CVC and associated departments sought to update their exhibit so visitors could better understand the impact of Congress on citizens' everyday lives, and in turn how citizens could impact Congress with their own ideas and actions.

Biological Processes
Located on the west side of the building, the Museum’s new Biological Processes Wing will highlight the systems that govern life on Earth and explore how life changes over time. As you enter the gallery, you will encounter a question: Are we part of nature? Subsequent learning stations will demonstrate how organisms rely on each other, influence each other, and adapt to changing environments—together.
